Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 966

Chapter 966 

The weekend had arrived, coinciding with the end of the year. The timing couldn’t have been more fitting–or more ominous. 

At the hospital, Lena’s colleagues were busy making plans for New Year’s Eve celebrations, but she sat at her desk, preoccupied with how to get through the weekend. Tomorrow, Aaron was going to formally announce his decision to sever ties with the Ace family 

Even though she had tried to comfort her grandparents and they seemed to accept it, she feared the actual impact would be far greater than any preparation could soften. 

“Dr. Lane, any plans for tomorrow? Join us!” someone invited her. 

Lena snapped out of her thoughts. “No, I’ll be at home with my grandparents.” 

She’d even be taking an emergency kit, just in case her grandparents couldn’t handle the shock. 

Her mother, Briana, had been equally anxious, sending multiple reminders throughout the day to ensure Lena would go to the Ace house right after work. 

The last time she visited, she’d managed to avoid Aaron, but this time, there was no way out. She sighed -if avoiding him was futile, she might as well face it. 

After work, she drove to the Ace residence. 

Coincidentally, Aaron wasn’t there. 

“Mom, where’s Uncle?” Lena asked casually. 

“He’s not back yet. He said he’d be home for dinner and asked us to prepare a couple of extra dishes because he’s bringing someone with him,” Briana said, her mood clearly heavy. 

The tension in the house was palpable, and Lena couldn’t help muttering under her breath, “He’s acting so carefree–he even has the appetite to eat.” 

Briana glanced at her. “Lena, from now on, we’ll just have to…” 

She didn’t finish her sentence, but her eyes reddened, and the unfinished words carried a deep sense of loss. 

The sight tugged at Lena’s heart. She wrapped her arms around her mother. “Mom, Uncle Aaron said he’s only severing formal ties. It’s not like he’ll stop seeing us. You’ve seen it yourself–he’s been spending all his time with Grandma and Grandpa lately.” 

“It’s just… it feels different. Like a husband whose heart has strayed,” Briana said, her comparison making Lena laugh.. 

“Mom, you’re awfully insightful. Are you trying to say Dad’s been unfaithful?” 

“Don’t talk nonsense. Your dad’s been a straight arrow his whole life,” Briana said, lightly swatting her. 

Lena stroked her mother’s back gently. “Mom, I understand how much you care for Uncle Aaron. He’s your brother in name, but you’ve loved him like a son. But he has his own thoughts, and wanting to
